Strange Food Day #lowcarb

I didn't want much lunch so I took a handful of frozen cauliflower florets and partially thawed them, just so I could chop them with my chopping blade. Then I chopped some leftover ham and sprinkled cheese on top, then heated it up right in the bowl. It was maybe a cupful if that...and very very good.

For supper I'd gotten out a couple of NY strips for grilling for Pete and I, and planned to maybe heat up some green beans in olive oil...but suddenly got a taste for some great Koegel franks in the casings. So we went to the local market and picked a few out of the meat case, and grilled them with our steaks. And had a salad on the side, with my own salad dressing (about 1/3c mayo, 1/4c SF ketchup, 2T Ideal sweetener, and 1Tbsp vinegar). What a delicious supper! A little unconventional maybe, but totally delicious!

This isn't necessarily a place to learn everything you need to know about eating low carb, its health benefits, or how to do it - there are plenty of other places for that. But since I've been living Cheap'n'Easy Low Carb since April 3, 2004, I just want to share some of my inexpensive and simple recipes (often including the cost!), shopping tips, experiences, and the occasional link or opinion. Welcome! :)
